Learning Goal: To learn how to use spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel) and powerpoints (Microsoft Powerpoint) effectively.

Action Plan:
1. Learn the basics of these programs and ask questions in class about anything that may be confusing
2. Practice using these programs by using them for work in other classes
3. Watch tutorial videos on youtube so that I will be able to actually see how to use the programs

I chose this learning goal for many reasons. If I learn how to use Microsoft Excel effectively as a teacher, I will be able to do grades and "Top 20 Lifting Charts" for weight training more efficiently. Also, Microsoft Powerpoint can allow me to create playbooks for football easily and create slide show and present to the class.
